A cutting-edge look into a pivotal moment in US history: McCarthy's
infamous "witch hunt" for communists during the 1950's Red Scare.
At the cusp of the Cold War, Americans were so afraid of communists
living among them that they began to hunt them like witches. As Senator
Joe McCarthy took up this mantle to hunt down "communists" in the US,
citizens grew terrified of being accused, so they turned on each other -
pointing fingers at neighbors, friends, and even family.
Told through a unique and inviting screenplay-format, brought to life
with dozens of illustrations by Tim Foley, and comprised almost entirely
of quotes derived from primary sources, Witch Hunt recounts the
political craze that gripped America during the Red Scare when
McCarthyism forced people to go to extraordinary lengths to keep
themselves and their families safe from persecution against their own
government.
